Hong Kong police say they have arrested five executives from the pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper under security laws imposed by Beijing.

Officials said the five were suspected of colluding with foreign powers.

The police officers arrived in the early hours of the morning, arresting Apple Daily executives.

Hong Kong's national security department said that the individuals were being investigated for endangering national security.

This is the second time the police have raided the opposition newspaper.

Journalists inside the building livestreamed the raid.

Apple Daily is owned by Jimmy Lai, the outspoken critic of the government who is serving time in prison for his involvement in the 2019 protest movement.

He has separately been charged with violating the national security law.
